The 66th Miss World will be crowned on December 18 at the MGM Grand Hotel in Maryland, USA. 117 young women will compete for the title of Miss World 2016. The winner will be crowned by outgoing Miss World. Mireia Lalaguna from Spain. Who will be Miss World? Here are our thoughts about this year's group and their chances.
****** Might be the next Miss World
***** Might make it to the top 5 or win a continental title
**** Could reach the top 10
*** Could reach the top 20
** Solid competitor but will probably miss the cut
* Likely to miss the first cut

Germany – Selina Kriechbaum *
Germany has been sending
weak contestants in recent years and even though Selina is prettier than the
average Germany delegate of the last few years, it just wasn’t enough for this
level of competition. The German organization running the Miss World franchise
should really get their act together.
Ghana – Anthoinette Kemavor ****
I am not sure what to think
of Anthoinette’s chances. To start, I’d say that she is incredibly beautiful
and that based on that alone, she might take the top honors in Africa. My
problem is just that she has been fading into the background. It has almost
been like she just wanted to stay unnoticed, which is a real shame, because
she’s gorgeous.
Gibraltar – Kayley Mifsud *
I was stunned to see the
second runner-up of Miss Gibraltar not winning the pageant. Kayley represented
her country with pride, but the level of competition was just too high. At
least, she made the top 24 in the sports challenge.
Guadeloupe – Magalie Adelson *
If you have to wonder if you
have seen a photo of her at the pageant, it’s probably not a good thing. Let’s
hope she had a wonderful time and enjoyed the experience.
Guam: Phoebe Palisoc *
Guam has sent stronger
representatives that Phoebe in the last couple of years who were overlooked,
which does not give me high hopes for her chances at Miss World.
Guatemala: Melanie Espina **
She’s cute, but is cute
enough at a pageant called Miss World?! Stranger things have happened at Miss
World, but for now I think she will just have to be proud of representing her
country to the best of her ability.
Guinea – Safiatou Balde *
I have my favorites in the
African group, but Sofiatou has not really caught my attention during the
competition. It would be a huge upset if she places ahead of the African
favorites like Kenya, South Africa, Ghana and Botswana.
Guinea-Bissau – Sandra Araujo **
I had high hopes for Sandra
when she was won and the raw goods are there. The problem is just that she is
very raw. In countries like Guinea-Bissau, there’s not much help with training
and preparation, and just the fact that they are competing is a miracle. I
still think she’s beautiful though.
Guyana – Nuriyyih Gerrard **
Nuriyyih is a well-known
media personality in her country and you can tell she has had loads of exposure
to being in the public eye. She is extremely well-spoken and her presence
commands attention. Guyana has been doing really well at Miss World in recent
years. Will their streak continue?
Haiti – Suzana Sampeur **
I have read comments about
fans talking about her resemblance to actress Lupita Nyong’o. I see it, but I
wonder if she has done enough to crack the top 20. I do think she’s super cute,
though.
Honduras – Kerelyne Webster **
Kerelyne is beautiful… way
more beautiful than the average delegate from her country, but it does not seem
like she has been noticed in this competition. It’s always a shame when pretty
girls go to waste, but in a competition like this one it’s a given.
Hungary – Timea Gelencser ******
Will this be the year that
Hungary takes it all? Their chances are almost better than ever before, because
Timea is really complete. She’s pretty, sweet, well-spoken, talent and she is
the kind of girl the Miss World Organization is looking for. I would not be
surprised to see her being crowned the next Miss World. But at this point it’s
not about what’s standing in her way, it’s about who!
Iceland – Anna Lara Orlowska *
There were such beautiful
girls competing for the Miss Iceland title that I was quite surprised when Anna
took the crown. At Miss World, she has not made much of an impact.
India – Priyadarshini Chatterjee *****
Priyadrashini is a lovely
looking girl. She’s probably the prettiest Miss India in the last four or five
years, but does she have the spark that most of her counterparts had? Some
people reckon she’s too demure and that she looks too young at times. I like
her and I’m hoping to see her do well.
Indonesia – Natasha Mannuela ****
Indonesia is one of the new
favourite nations of the Miss World Organization, it seems, as their delegates
have been performing exceptionally well the last few years. The Asian group is
quite strong, but now that I know that Natasha placed second in top model, I
better start adjusting my final leaderboard. She’s bound to have an amazing
BWAP project.
Ireland – Niamh Kennedy **
She ticks all the boxes, but
for some reason Niamh has not been making as much of an impact as I first
thought she would. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not dissing her. I just thought she
would be a contender, but now I am seeing her as more of a possibility.
Israel – Karin Alia ***
Karin is just simply
gorgeous and I thought she would be one of the strongest bets for the Miss
World crown, but I am starting to wonder if she wouldn’t have been a bigger hit
at Miss Universe. She might be too “out there” for Miss World. I am hoping that
that’s not the case, because I do think based on just looks alone, it would be
silly to overlook her.
Italy - Giada Tropea **
Giada is pretty and sexy, but I am not quite getting a Miss World vibe from her. I have seen stronger representatives than her go unplaced at Miss World.
Jamaica - Ashley Barrett *
Jamaica made it all the way to the top 5 last year, but this year their chances don't look as rosy. There are other ladies from the Caribbean who have made much more of an impact.
Japan - Priyanka Yoskikawa **
I stand corrected, but as far as I know Priyanka is the first mixed Miss World Japan. She's half Indian. I think she's been better than the average Japanese delegate. It's also refreshing that she can express herself well in English
